hi folks. i've gotten native xorg building for ofppc, but my pegasosII isn't currently setup for testing. can anyone test this for me? i can either upload my sets or you can build your own, using the '-V X11FLAVOUR=Xorg -V MKX11=yes'. thanks! .mrg.

Uploading your sets would be easiest for me. ok, please check out the sets in: ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/mrg/ofppc-xorg-sets/ thanks! if it doesn't work, i'll see about getting my system setup. .mrg.

It doesn't work. I can neither run "X -configure" nor start with a working
xorg.conf. I'm always getting a fatal server error:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: No console driver found
Supported drivers:
Check your kernel's console driver configuration and /dev entries
There are no console drivers? Probably you forgot to define WSCONS_SUPPORT
somewhere?

hi folks.
i finally got around to trying my pegasosII with -current and it fails
to boot. i get this:

How could that happen? Unforunately ddb doesn't show the performance monitor registers. The contents of MMCR0 would have been interesting. The only location where the perfmon is used in the kernel is while calculating the clock frequency. And this is during configure(). The G3/G4 manual says that MMCR0 "must be cleared at power up", which could mean its contents is undefined, and with some bad luck we get an exception as soon as we enable interrupts? But I cannot believe that... > anyone have any ideas what is up?(Continue reading)

Ok, then I will try it with a newer kernel in the next days and see what happens. >> It worked for you in the past? > > i haven't booted this system since april 2008, but yeah, it very much > worked in the past, and the old install works (netboot or disk boot.) Switching to gtpci was not a trivial task. I tested lots of modifications from kiyohara <at> in April until it finally worked on my G3. But IIRC he also had a G4 with 512MB, so it should have worked for you at some point... >> Since the last months I get kernel panics when an USB device is >> plugged in.

I couldn't even think of any different instructions which would be generated by gcc for a G4 in difference to a G3. Was gcc updated between your last successful attempt and now? Another point to check would be if other PPC ports are also affected. I could try to build a macppc kernel for my PowerBook with -mcpu=7400. -- -- Frank Wille
